Reviews

“MacDonald … offers up a monograph that aptly demonstrates how adaptations fill in the representational gap of Shakespeare’s missing black women even as she undertakes the same gap-filling work herself by spotlighting the endeavors of creators of color all-too-often overlooked in Shakespearean adaptation studies, as well as in contemporary culture.” (Vanessa I. Corredera, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 16 (2), 2022)
